The Amazon launches a application provides access to electronic books from the Kindle through the HTML5 , giving back to Apple.
html5 language that was advertised by Apple as a replacement for Flash is turning against Apple, with more and more applications in this language and thus do not need the “filter” in the Apple App Store.
Now is the turn of the Amazon, had to change the application that was available on iOS, and created an application in HTML5 with the name Kindle Cloud Reader , that works in browser and Chrome Safari and is available on the iPad.
Kindle Cloud Reader is as good or better than what was available in the App Store. Offers the possibility to access your entire library available in your Amazon account, and has 50 MB to be able to read the books offline.
This is a way to circumvent the strict policies that Apple is imposing in its App Store, which has forced Amazon to remove external links to the App Store, so as to gain the 30% gains on the sale of books.
But it is not the first time this has happened since Playboy and the Financial Times have created an application in HTML5. In the case of the Financial Times, it was the same situation, Apple wanted users bought a subscription through the App Store, getting the information of customers, which opposed the Financial Times, and was a pioneer in this situation, creating an application in HTML5 optimized for the iPad.
